I have always used SABnzbd desktop client (Win10) to handle all my nzb file downloads. Suddenly it has stopped functioning. I am a senior non-techie but I have been trying everything, including uninstall/reinstall without success. It will load and open smoothly but it fails to pick up and load nzb file requests. My guess is that some setting has changed but I've not been able to find it. I double-checked to verify that it is the default program for nzb files and have associated that file extension with the program.

 

The good folks over at the SAB forum haven't been able to offer any suggestions. Is there anyone here who is familiar with this program and can help me troubleshoot for a solution? Thanks for any help.

Add'l info: By trial and error, I have found the problem to be that SAB isn't picking up .nzb files from the specified "Watched Folder." I can manually add the nzb and SAB operates normally. Does this help?

Add'l info 2:  SOLVED  Somehow the default "Watched Folder" had been changed. Once corrected SAB is working normally. Thanks.
